Today I want to share a card I made for a friend of mine who's son is getting married this summer and it also fits the challenge this week over at the Just Rite Friday challenge . The challenge is to have a window in your project and use a Just Rite stamp. My Window was made with a circle to showcase the Just Rite stamp from one of the first stamps I purchased years ago called Harmony Classic Circle Stamper 11. I rely on this set often when making wedding cards.

Paper: Bazille white and black c/s, DP unknown, Glossy c/s
Stamps: The Stampsmith Thank Heaven for Little Girls.
